Athenian Site Search
built for connected commerce.
A WordPress and WooCommerce search layer for live suggestions, product and content discovery, SKU matching, and reusable shortcode or widget placement.
Athenian Site Search gives WordPress and WooCommerce sites one reusable way to surface products, categories, and content.
Add live suggestions, SKU-aware product discovery, shortcode or widget placement, and configurable REST results without requiring a hosted search index.
It is useful for storefronts, marketplaces, brand sites, and mixed content hubs where search should stay close to native site data and theme language.
